Instructors - Creating Assignments with Kyron Assets via Deep Linking

After you have established an LTI connection, you can add Kyron assets to your courses's assignments through deep linking. This article goes into detail how to create assignments in Canvas and D2L Brightspace via deep linking.

Canvas

Before adding Kyron assets to your Canvas assignments, make sure you have followed the steps from our LTI 1.3 Setup on Canvas.

Want to create a Kyron Conversation from content already in your Canvas course instead? See Kyron Conversations on Canvas (LTI 1.3). If your organization creates conversations from Canvas, you'll see the content picker first; click Choose lessons from my library to pick an existing Kyron asset instead.

1. Click “+ Assignment.”

2. The Assignment Name will auto-populate based on the Kyron asset selected in Step 4 and can be edited later. You may also add learner instructions if desired.

3. Enter in the number of points you want the assignment to be worth, the Assignment Group, and how you plan to grade the assignments (for points or based on completion).

  • You can also select whether you want the assignment to count towards a learner’s final grade.

  • This article provides more information into the different types of scoring.

4. For Submission Type, make sure you have selected External Tool.

  • Click Find and select Kyron Learning from the list.

  • Under Select a Lesson, search or scroll to find the lesson you want and select it.

  • To change learner options, click Assignment Settings. There you can choose whether to Allow Speech To Text and Allow Conversation Voice and, if your organization uses Kyron's grading settings, set the grading scheme and retries.

5. Click Submit.

6. Click Select.

7. Select if you’d like to allow unlimited or limited attempts for completing the assignment.

8. Set your assignment access dates.

  • If you don’t want learners to access Kyron Assets after the assignment’s due date, set the Due Date and Until Date to be the same in your assignment settings.

If a learner tries to open the Kyron Asset after the specified date, they will see the following message on their screen:

D2L Brightspace

After you have connected Kyron Learning with D2L Brightspace via LTI 1.3, your Kyron Deployment is ready for instructors and course creators to access. Here’s how to add a Kyron Learning Asset on Brightspace:

1. Navigate to the Course and Lesson in which you’d like to add an activity

2. Click "Add Existing”

3. Find and click Kyron Deployment that you created in Step 3 of the LTI 1.3 configuration.

4. You will now see the Select a Lesson picker, which lists the published Kyron assets in your Kyron organization. Select one and, if you like, adjust its Assignment Settings.

5. Click Submit. With that, your Kyron assignment is ready! 🎉
